Miscellaneous small electronic items will be accepted such as pds’s and cell phones, and household small appliances including toasters, irons and telephones. Televisions should be 32” and under, please. Batteries should be bagged.
“Computer Recyclers, a Michigan firm, will accept the collected items and will guarantee that no component will
end up in a landfill,” said Mrs. Gail Kassin, Computer Teacher and SJA Green Team Advisor. Electronics contain many hazardous materials that can contaminate groundwater if placed in landfills. Recycling electronics
recovers valuable materials and conserves natural resources. “People are beginning to realize the negative impact we have made on our environment in the past and are looking for safer alternatives, and this opportunity is providing that alternative,” said Mrs. Kassin.
